The Proposal Coordinator is responsible for providing day-to-day coordination of the proposal process, including control and supervision of all aspects of the proposal production effort. The coordinator is the principal point of contact between the proposal team and the production team. The Proposal Coordinator is assigned as soon as the procurement becomes sufficiently defined – just following Draft RFP release and no later than final RFP release (sometimes starting on a part-time basis but typically becoming full time, except for very small proposals).

The Proposal Coordinator maintains historical proposal and project data bases and project contact listings. Uses Virtual Proposal Center (VPC) to track and develop proposal responses under the direction and in support of assigned proposal managers. The Proposal Coordinator is responsible for the timely coordination and delivery of a proposal to a customer or agency in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation, or as directed.

The Coordinator reports directly to and receives instruction from the Proposal Manager, but interacts with the entire proposal team. The proposal writers deal directly with the Proposal Coordinator, who acts as their interface with the production team.
